A month ago or so, I heard about an app called “WeCroak“. I think I heard about it on Dan Harris’s 10% Happier podcast or maybe it was Sam Harris’s Waking Up podcast .
For US$1 (one time fee), I get up to 5 messages a day that say “don’t forget…you’re going to die”. It may sound pessimistic, but I find it positive. It reminds me to take things lightly. To not stress. It reminds me that everything and everyone is impermanent. It helps me live my life the way I want to live it. It keeps me in the moment instead of the past or the future.
With those 5 messages, you can click to get a quote. This is one of those quotes.
On a quilting note, I’ve agreed to teach a 2 day workshop in August so I’ve started doing a little more prep work for that. I have the basics of the workshop already prepared as I did two demos last month on the same idea that I will be teaching. I resisted for a long time – but I really did enjoy the demos so decided ‘why not’? I’ll be teaching 6 simple improv blocks and then ideas for putting them together. I’m billing it as a PLAYDATE with your scrap bag. No stress. No pressure. No Quilt Police. Just hang out with me for 2 days and sew. I think it might be fun.
